Description: Una investigación profundamente documentada sobre la forma en que el narcotráfico aniquila o seduce a periodistas. Conuna pluma violenta, aguerrida, profundamente humana, Javier Valdez Cárdenas revela quiénes han sido víctimas de los narcos por buscar la verdad, por escribir con valentía sobre la impunidad y las injusticias, y cómo actúan algunos reporteros o analistas que colaboran para los narcos con tráfico de información y servicios altamente remunerados. Un libro indispensable para entender la política y la sociedad de nuestro México inmerso en una guerra sin precedentes.

How are drug trafficking and the media related? Will freedom of speech prevail in Mexico? How much is the exchange of valuable information worth? This is a valuable investigation which has heavily researched the way in which drug trafficking destroys or seduces journalists. With a harsh and embattled, yet profoundly human angle, Javier Valdez Cárdenas reveals who have been victims of drug lords while searching for the truth and courageously writing about impunities and injustices. Valdez Cárdenas also delves into the behavior of some reporters and political analysts when collaborating with the kingpins by providing valuable information or offering well-paid services. This is an essential must-read book to be able to understand the politics and society of today's Mexico, one immersed in a war without precedents.
